Even though choosing legal movie downloads will cost you a few bucks, choosing illegal or unlicensed movie downloads could end up costing you a heck of a lot more in fines and court costs.

However, the free option also comes with a big list of problems and repercussions, which you should be warned about. The sad truth is that even with such strict laws, illegal movie downloads outnumber the legit ones by as much as 5 to 1.

These file sharing types of sites usually contain a much lesser sound and picture quality in the files, not to mention the fact that they can also contain viruses that could harm your computer. In addition, the legal proceedings you could face from the registered owners of the movies themselves could be devastating.

There are a couple of ways that these legal movie download sites can charge for their services. One is a monthly fee or subscription that will charged, allowing you an unlimited number of downloads per month while your subscription is active.

What is worse is the fact that you will be sourcing the file from a complete stranger who may send you something different altogether or possibly some corrupted file that is loaded with a virus or a backdoor program to steal your personal information.

It is heartening to note that offenders are brought to justice every now and then and not everyone gets away scot free with the crime. Thanks to technology, you can now identify the exact person who downloaded the movie by tracking his Internet Service Provider (ISP) and using their help to find out the computer's location.

Nevertheless, perhaps the biggest benefit, one that most people worry about the most, is that these legal download sites have cutting edge security protection systems in place, which are constantly monitored and updated, so you'll almost never have to worry about downloading a potentially crippling virus in the movie file.

However, the problem has been attempted to be solved right at the source with many movie studios trying to encrypt the movie discs and restricting their playback to only limited players. Nevertheless, this is merely a road hump for the movie pirates who continue to break codes and redistribute the movie on illegally burned discs.

One of the minor downsides of using a legal movie download site is that there tend to be less of a selection of movies available to the end user. With fewer legal movie download sites around, as opposed to the illegal file sharing sites, your choices to find one that can accommodate your needs for price and terms of agreement will be limited as well. However, there are enough legal sites out there, with more popping up everyday that you're sure to find one within the price range that you are willing to pay.

While the costs associated with legal movie downloads can be distressing to some, the benefits definitely make up for it. You'll receive a higher quality picture and sound file, as well the comfort in knowing that all the files you download are securely protected from malicious viruses that can cause you and your system much grief in the end. You need to shop around, just like anything else your purchase, to find the site that suits your needs the best.

A lot of the legal movie download sites now a days offer free trials. They allow you a certain number of downloads, or a time frame in which to try their services before any payment will be required.
